Title

Yesterday marked the end of my birthday week, not that I had spent it celebrating or anything, but yesterday, we had iftar at my best friend's and then went to this GORGEOUS concert.

The Azhar Park was once a dump, and now it's a beautiful park that has a theater where they hold great live performances- underground performances.

Yesterday, was Emel Mathlouthi's first time to perform in Cairo, and I quote the best friend; she "lit Cairo up" with passion and drive and hope....and freedom and revolutionary aspirations.

She's is Tunisian, but nevertheless, I guess all North African countries could relate to what she sang for. I did. I was...touched. I am not an activist, because there's nothing that I have "actively" done for this country except love her with every bit that I am. Regardless of all what she doesn't give me, and what she takes away from me; of freedom and rights, I still love her. Regardless of the poverty and misery I see at every corner...I think my country is a beautiful one...

I might be a silent, passive protester...if I have the right to call myself so, but that's a shameful thing to be.

I love person shapes! I think the human body is such a marvel...a true miracle! I take for granted the powerful mechanism that is my body - how I know when to breathe, when to blink, how to type this comment - it is amazing and thought-provoking...thanks for sharing that -what a great way to be reminded how lucky I am to be alive! I am glad you had a great wkeened, I had a nice one too. Smiles! Have fun with your family this weeekend!

Get to know me

I am a sunny person.
I can be reckless, impulsive and dependent.
I can be stupid.
I cry. I am a happy soul. One that is random.
I want to keep records of my life for days to come, to show my children. And for those days when my memory fails me.
I believe in growing. And not growing up; you grow in all directions- not just up.
I believe in me.
